Hackney Borough Council, driving on prohibited road, Elsdale
Street - baliff

Baliff involved- but currently on freeze while TEC involved.
So, long story short. I was sent a picture of me apparently
driving down a prohibited road in Hackney. This was a shock to
me since I never go to Hackney and the photographed car wasn’t
mine. In the same week I also entered the congestion charge zone
in the same vehicle that isn’t mine…
So anyway, my plates were cloned. I called the police, I got a
crime number, and I appealed both letters. TFL cancelled the
congestion zone one, and I heard nothing back from Hackney.
I was then informed by another letter that they had rejected my
appeal (I didn’t receive anything!). I’m not good with these
things and had then had to called the TEC who advised I send
another form in which was rejected as I hadn’t had it counter
signed. My error…but I’ve never done this before. I then got
chased by Newlyn the debt collector who knocked on my door.
After calls I had been informed I could send an out of time
form, I had both forms counter signed by a solicitor and I
emailed this back in with photographs of my vehicle (a 2005
Corolla) and the image pictured is of a RAV4 which is a
different colour clearly, has a different roof profile with
shaped metal running front to back down the roof, my own car is
light blue with a mismatched blue roof and the photographed car
was a dark blue one.
Anyway long and short I’ve received a letter today stating they
have decided to oppose my application. The vehicles are
COMPLETELY different - how is this possible?
They claim that they received no representation from me. Their
line further down comments that sent the letters I did not
receive first class and which has not been returned as
undeliverable. Is it beyond their realm of fantasy to think that
my appeal initially also wasn’t returned to me as undelivered?
They have sent this back to the TEC - it’s hugely unfair since
supplied images show clearly that it is not my vehicle.
Not home at the moment to post pic of original pcn but can do
later
What can I do at this point?

we need to see the documents firstly but if TEC reject your OOT
then you can then apply to have that decision reviewed by a
judge who given the circumstances is likely to allow it yhen you
can start the appeal process

As pastmybest says, you need to post up all the documents so we
can take a look.

Hi there Goat,
I'm researching at TV piece about this topic for BBC London TV
and would be interested to know what happened to your case. If
you can email me (there's an email icon you can click on that
allows you to email me directly) I'd be keen to know how this
ended as part of the issue is the difficulty that people have
proving that it was infact a cloned vehicle.
All the best,
Jim
